Elon Musk’s Mom Is A 67-Year-Old Model

New York Magazine

To most of the world, Maye Musk may be better known for raising whatVanity Fair called the "First Family of Tech." She has three kids: Tosca, a filmmaker; Kimbal, an entrepreneur and restaurateur; and well, Elon. But Maye has modeled for over five decades (including in the plus-size category); she's a licensed dietitian and nutritionist with two masters degrees in dietetic and nutritional science; and she starred in Beyoncé's music video for "Haunted." Her campaigns have included Revlon and Clinique, and she's posed for covers of multiple magazines (including New York!). Here, she talks to the Cut about what she's learned about wellness from her time in the industry, the importance of bean soup, and how she never allows herself to get hungry.
